Chapter 8
What clues show that the hurricane is becoming a bigger threat? How do those clues build suspense?
Example answer: I notice that the hurricane seems more dangerous because the wind and rain keep getting stronger, and people start acting more worried. The warnings and the way the characters hurry make me feel like something bad could happen soon. These clues build suspense because I keep wondering if Chase and the others will get trapped. It makes me want to keep reading to find out how they will stay safe.

Example answer: I think this chapter shows that courage means doing the right thing even when you are scared.
